Catch Up

It has been quite awhile since I have posted so I figured I'd do some catching up. Well let's see, Craig started with the flu last Thursday and has been the sickest I have ever seen him during our married years. Then Avery woke up with fever Sunday morning. She and I started on Tamiflu Friday to ward off the silly bug but I think she caught the tail end of the mess. They are both better now. My inlaws are in El Paso visiting my sister and brother in law and little Aminn, they will be back Wednesday. Well since they have been gone and Craig has been sick, I got to do all the feedings, and believe me it is a job. Not a bad one since I love all the little ones but it does take quite a bit of time to get everything fed. So I have been the one out there seeing which babies are being born. I think as of today all our goats have had their babies. And believe you me, we have babies coming out of our eyeballs. We have lost a couple and I just hate that but I try not to make myself sick over it anymore, cause it would if I let it. Most of you who know me, know that I am a huge animal lover so it's no surprise that I always have lots of critters on here. Here is Louie patiently waiting while we are in with the goats.

A flower for Mommy



And this little guy will be lucky if he makes it. His momma is not feeding him. Craig and I are having to hold her down and let him nurse. He didn't have any milk for the first 2 days. We didn't know it and then figured it out. I didn't notice it till after I downloaded these pics but he has a 7 on his head. Maybe it will give him some luck. He is a real sweetie.



Avery has just got to hold every one of them. This is a twin nanny that was born yesterday.




I got a smile, I can't believe it.

Oops




This is a twin billy born today.




This is the little momma that won't take care of her baby. I think she was just too young. This is her first baby..

See his little 7

He sure looks poor, but his little belly always pooches out after we let him nurse.

Sambo sat up on the gate and watched and fussed at us the whole time we were in today.

Sambo spent his first night away from home the other night, scared me cause he is always at the back door scratching and meowing as soon as he hears my feet hit the floor.




This is the twin billy to the little brown one and their momma.

The little boys.

Isn't this just precious. The solid white ones always make me think of little lambs.

I have to bring the girls down there so they can see! Let me know when you guys are not sickly any more! We got exposed to the flu on Sunday so we (me and Avery) started some inhalant today. But, the dr said that if we were going to get it then we would have had it after Sunday... who knows! LOL
